LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE (red)
When the ignition key is moved to MAR, the
warning light switches on, and should go out
as soon as the engine is started.
The warning light switches on constantly together with
the message in the display when the system detects that
the engine oil pressure is insufficient.
v
If the warning light vturns on when
travelling (with the message on the
display) stop the car immediately and contact
an Abarth Dealership.
WARNING
EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE
(amber)
In normal conditions, when the ignition key is
moved to MAR, the warning light turns on and
should go off after engine start-up. The initial switching-
on indicates that the warning light is working properly.
If the warning light stays on or turns on when travelling:
❒on permanently: this means there is a fault in the
supply/ignition system which could cause high
exhaust emissions, loss of performance, poor
handling and high fuel consumption levels.
The display shows the dedicated message.
Under these conditions, you may continue travelling at a
moderate speed without demanding excessive effort
from the engine. Prolonged use of the car with the
warning light on may cause damage. Contact an Abarth
Dealership as soon as possible.
The warning light switches off if the failure disappears,
but it is still stored by the system.
❒flashing: this indicates possible damage to the
catalytic converter (see “EOBD system” in the
“Knowing your car” section).

HEAVY USAGE OF THE CAR
Should the car be used predominantly in one of the
following particularly demanding conditions:
❒dusty roads;
❒short distances (less than 7-8 km) and with external
temperatures below zero;
❒frequently idling engine or long distance low speed
driving (e. g. taxis or door-to-door deliveries) or in
the case of long term inactivity;
❒in cities;
perform the following inspections more frequently than
shown on the Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒check front disc brake pad conditions and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks and
linkage cleanliness and lubrication;
❒visually inspect the conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and hoses (exhaust – fuel
– brakes), rubber parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒check battery charge and liquid level (electrolyte);
❒visually inspect condition of accessory drive belts;
❒check pollen filter and replace it, if required;
❒check air filter and replace, if required.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and, if
necessary, top up the following:
❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre pressure and conditions;
❒operation of lighting system (headlights, direction
indicators, hazard lights, etc.);
❒operation of the windscreen wiper/washer system,
position and wear of the windscreen and rear
window wiper blades.
Every 3,000 km check and top up if required: engine oil
level.
It is advisable to use PETRONAS LUBRICANTS products,
designed and produced specifically for Abarth cars (see
table “Capacities” in section “Technical Specifications”).

Never smoke while
working in the engine
compartment: inflammable
gases and vapours may be
present, constituting a fire risk.
WARNING

care not to mix up the
various types of fluids:
they are not compatible with
each other and could seriously
damage the car.
1. Engine coolant – 2. Battery – 3. Windscreen washer fluid – 4. Brake

ENGINE OIL fig. 167
Check the oil level a few minutes (about five) after the
engine has stopped, with the car parked on level ground.
Check that the level is within the MIN and MAX marks
on the dipstick B.
The range between the MIN. and MAX. marks
corresponds to about 1 litre of oil.
If the oil level is near or under the MIN line, add oil
through the filler A until it reaches the MAX line.
The oil level should never exceed the MAX line.ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
The maximum engine oil consumption is usually 400
grams every 1000 km.
When the car is new, the engine needs to run in,
therefore the engine oil consumption can only be
considered stabilised after the first 5,000 - 6,000 km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption depends on driving
style and the car usage conditions.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the
engine run for a few seconds and wait a few minutes
after switching it off before checking the level.
When the engine is hot, take care when
working inside the engine compartment
to avoid burns. Remember that when the engine
is hot, the fan may operate: danger of injury.
Pay attention to scarves, ties and other loose
fitting garments: they may get caught by moving
components.
WARNING
Do not add any oil with different
specifications to those of the existing
engine oil.

ENGINE COOLANT fig. 168
The coolant level must be checked when the engine is
cold and must range between the MIN. and MAX. marks
on the reservoir.
If the level is low, slowly pour a mixture of 50%
demineralised water and 50% PARAFLU
UPby
PETRONAS LUBRICANTS through the filler neck A
until the level reaches MAX.
The used engine oil and the replaced oil
filter contain substances that may be
dangerous for the environment. It is
advisable to have oil and filters changed by an
Abarth Dealership where they will be disposed in
accordance with nature and the law.
PARAFLUUPanti-freeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use the same fluid
as in the cooling system when topping up.
PARAFLU
UPmay not be mixed with any other
types of fluids. If this accidentally occurs, do not
start the engine and contact an Abarth
Dealership.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLUUPand demineralised
water gives freeze protection to -35°C.
When the vehicle is used under particularly harsh
weather conditions, we recommend using a 60-40
mixture of PARAFLU
UPand demineralised water.
The engine cooling system is pressurised.
If necessary, only replace the cap with
another genuine one or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the cap from the reservoir when the
engine is hot: danger of scalding.
